that may be true but it doesn't seem like WPG wants to rebuild and unless some team is banging down the door trying to actively trade for Ehlers what's the return on him? Does WPG really want a lower first and a B+ type of prospect? Ehlers doesn't return a better younger less expensive player with team control most likely so where does that leave WPG? Maybe a reclamation project they believe in? But is that such a great gamble compared to extending Ehlers? The devil you know and all that.
A first, B prospect and a roster player could be realistic
Yeah, no.
If they already tried to move him and couldn't and he is coming off another lackluster playoff why is the offer going to be better now such that WPG would say yes? Never say never but it seems unlikely the market to acquire his services expanded.
Ehlers is a solid player, but I don't think a smaller winger who has been able to full a (75 game plus season) 4 times in his 9 year career will fetch a massive return. And in those 4 healthy seasons after his rookie year, he paces for 60 odd points. There is a deal to be made, but not sure it will solve the Jets needs.
Sure, but it's a trade WPG probably doesn't win and they are smart enough to know that.
He has never been shopped around. Jets have him on a good value contract for the past 5 years.
Maybe i'm wrong, but i've never thought of Ehlers as being soft. Injury-prone, sure.
We need a winger for EP bad! Love Hogz but EP needs a guy that thinks the game at a top line level like him.
Lebrun has never been dialed in to anything involving the Jets. Again just speculation.
I would agree. He does engage in battles. But, when he plays a full season (75 games plus), it's only happened 4 times in 9 seasons, he ends up with 60 odd points. He's had higher PPG in the less than full seasons, but Availability is an Ability as they say in Football.
How is EP soft? He doesn't shy away at all from contact and has developed quite the nice reverse hit repertoire to his game.
As a Sabres fan we would accept said ghost. Our goal like the Leafs is to make the playoffs, not actually succeed in the playoffs. We just want in !!!!
How is Dubois doing in Montreal these days? According to LeBrun it was the only place. LeBrun is just Hughes mouthpiece.
Ehlers has never played soft.Hes always finished checks and gone into the corners and fought for the puck. It's probably one of the reasons he's faced injuries. The only real complaint from some fans is that he seems to go down easily which has actually drawn a lot of power plays for the Jets.
